I thought that Castaway's identity as Jon Canmore was referenced really briefly in the final episode of TGC, wasn't it? I could be wrong, but I seem to recall something like a voiceover or a news broadcast that says "John Castaway, also known as Jon Canmore, was arrested blah blah blah." Did I just make that up? It's one of the few things I thought I knew about TGC. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 13:26, 24 May 2008 (CDT) | I thought that Castaway's identity as Jon Canmore was referenced really briefly in the final episode of TGC, wasn't it?

I thought that Castaway's identity as Jon Canmore was referenced really briefly in the final episode of TGC, wasn't it?

I agree with Caswin there. I'm not sure whether it was intended to be a reference to the Hunter/Canmore lineage or not, but it is a point of interest and I think the page should reflect that. We should mention the possibility but leave the certainty of the line ambiguous. -- Matt 08:36, 29 May 2008 (CDT)
